Associated Press - March 2, 2008 7:14 PM ET

HAMILTON, Mont. (AP) - The Forest Service is evaluating opportunities for the commercial harvest of wild mushrooms, on the Bitterroot National Forest in southwestern Montana.

There's a good chance lands burned by wildfires last summer will have abundant mushrooms this spring.

Commercial harvesting would require permits. The Forest Service is considering fees ranging from $20 for a 7-day permit, to $100 for a season permit.

Officials say that in looking ahead to a possible commercial harvest, they must consider social effects and what the forest's natural resources can withstand. Given the potential profit in gathering wild mushrooms, commercial seasons can bring waves of people. On some forests, there have been conflicts over harvest territory and concerns about environmental harm from a lot of camping.

Bitterroot National Forest officials expect to issue a decision by the end of March.

My advice is to find those things that give pleasure and do them often without too much attachment and relax and wait for the show to end.

I like free markets and all. Truly I do, at least in general, but there needs to be some kind of oversight in recognition of sustainability. Life works the same way, on a bunch of sustainable systems. Why not honor what made us what we are and take some lessons? Nature FTW!
